Underwater atomic bomb explosion engulfs ship in tidal wave

We have all seen footage of the mushroom clouds produced by an atomic bomb explosion on land. In water the bomb is just as devastating, but the dust cloud emanating from it is replaced by an enormous wave of water.

We hate to think what happens to sea life when one of these bombs goes off, but we can see how much water it displaces. The ship in the video above is positioned just outside the radius of the initial explosion, but the tidal wave soon reaches it.

We doubt the ship is still in one piece after the wave has passed. The initial explosion alone would have done some damage to the hull with the wave probably finishing it off.
